The Foundation of Custom Boot Fitting
Custom footbeds and shell modifications are the cornerstones of our boot fitting process. Custom footbeds stabilize and balance your foot, while shell modifications, achieved through heat molding or grinding, allow the boot to conform to your foot’s unique shape, eliminating pressure points and hotspots.
Customized Boot Fitting with Superfeet Insoles
Every skier, regardless of ability or experience level, can benefit from custom footbeds. Our boot fitters create personalized footbeds by taking an impression of your foot and molding a heated footbed to its unique contours. This 30 to 60-minute process ensures even support across your entire foot, resulting in improved stability, balance, and comfort. A properly supported foot is strong, relaxed, and less prone to fatigue, allowing you to ski with greater control and enjoyment.
Cuff Alignment for Optimal Stance
After selecting the perfect footbed, our boot fitters will assess the alignment of your boot’s upper cuff. Ideally, you should be able to stand in a natural stance with the base of both skis flat on the snow. If necessary, we can adjust the cuff alignment to ensure equal pressure distribution on your ski edges. This process, often confused with canting (which involves tilting the entire boot laterally), should only be performed by a qualified boot fitter with the right equipment.
Shell Modifications for a Customized Fit
Pressure from the boot’s hard plastic shell on your bones can cause discomfort and hinder performance. Our skilled boot fitters can modify the shell to match the unique shape of your foot by either grinding away excess plastic or using specialized tools to heat and reshape specific areas. Common issues that require shell modification include bunions, bone spurs, surgical hardware, and Morton’s toe (when the second toe is significantly longer than the first).
